Furong Ridge Park.

There weren't many people in the park. After the meticulous construction of the garden art, nature was integrated into the modern urban atmosphere. Although this place didn't have the winding paths and winding paths like the countryside in his hometown, nor the quiet ancient temple forest, in Mu Zixi's opinion, it was much better than the high-rise buildings or streets filled with the smell of reinforced concrete and car exhaust. At least there were large patches of green here, which could comfort the eyes. There was also the familiar smell of soil and flowers, which could refresh the nose. Just standing in the grass made him feel refreshed and happy.

"Xiangmi, it's been a long time since I went to the park. I suddenly feel that these days are so luxurious.”Mu Zixi happily expressed his satisfaction. A few days ago, she had been working so hard under pressure that she looked like a ghost. She was resting today and had come to a place that she liked. The joy in her heart was like an ant that had climbed from a frying pan to the ground. This was a completely different feeling from the park when he was in university.

"Yes, I feel the same way." Shen Xiangmi was also very happy and had a faint smile on her face.

"There are chairs over there. Let's go there and read.”

"Yes."

Mu Zixi carried a big bag of food. They had bought them from Wumart. They usually wanted to eat but could not bear to buy fruits, bread, dried tofu, and other snacks. Yesterday, she received her first full-time job salary in her life. She sent most of the money to her mother and left some living expenses. She took some out to buy these things as a small reward for herself.

When they were in university, they liked to shop at the supermarket, which was a certain distance away from the university. That supermarket always had many good and cheap goods, especially the freshly baked bread and cakes. They were so fragrant that Mu Zixi could easily drool. Moreover, they often had discounts. She simply couldn't bear to part with them. Therefore, the two girls would go through the trouble of walking twenty minutes every month to buy some to enjoy.

Shen Xiangmi was carrying two books. Reading in the park was bliss. Reading a book, looking at nature, and taking a leisurely walk, not only could one enjoy nature and sunlight, but one's heart could also be enriched, and one's eyes and body could also be trained.

"By the way, how's your job now?”

"In the first few days, Master Ye was fine. He answered all the questions. After that, when I asked a lot, he ignored me.”

"Ah, how could this be? Are you alright?"

"Hmm, the strange thing is that after three days like this, he suddenly became very patient with me and even took the initiative to teach me some essential things.”

"Really? That's good."

"Yes, every time he taught me, he would emphasize to me that he had never taught anyone before, so that I would be more attentive.”

"Ah, is it because he was in a bad mood for three days, or did he take a fancy to you later?”

"Zi Xi, what nonsense are you talking about? He has a family, and I heard that they have a good relationship. Don't make such jokes in the future. I'll be very angry.”Shen Xiangmi pretended to be angry.

Shen Xiangmi had never cared about other people's affairs, but she had a lively and cheerful colleague, Wang Xizhen, who liked to gossip. As soon as she entered the company, Wang Xizhen asked her out for lunch to talk about the company and its people. Shen Xiangmi was probably born a good listener. She always had a serious expression when she heard people talk about things and did not like to interrupt. Therefore, Wang Xizhen treated her as the best confidant. In half a month, although Shen Xiangmi was not curious, she knew a lot of things.

"Oh, that's strange. Let's not talk about him anymore.”Although Mu Zixi was very curious, she knew that Shen Xiangmi did not like this topic, so she did not talk about it anymore.

"Yes, I think so too. So I didn't take it to heart." As the two of them spoke, they came to a chair and Mu Zixi sat down.

Xiang Shenmi quickly said,"Get up, isn't it clean?"”As she spoke, she quickly took out the two pieces of paper she had prepared in advance and wiped them on the stool again and again. She also gestured for Mu Zixi to go to the place she had just wiped clean.

Hearing Shen Xiangmi's shout, Mu Zixi quickly stood up. She had wanted to say that she would be going back to shower and wash clothes at night anyway, so it did not matter. Seeing how much Shen Xiangmi cared, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Anran sat on the spot that Shen Xiangmi had wiped clean and said,""Thank you."

"I'm fine." Shen Xiangmi replied and sat down.

Mu Zixi thought to herself,'No wonder when I was young, I always wondered why other children's clothes always seemed to be cleaner than mine. It's not that my mother didn't wash my clothes well, it's because I'm not particular.' Indeed, Mu Zixi was usually very particular about the cleanliness of the food she ate. As for her clothes, she was indeed very negligent.

The two girls put their things away and picked up their books to read seriously. Shen Xiangmi was studying international trade. She wanted to study foreign trade. As for Mu Zixi, she was reading Lu Yao's " Ordinary World." She liked famous works and used to publish some tofu chunks in university. Writing a good book in this life and telling the world that she had come to this world was her greatest wish and also her ultimate wish. She needed a change of taste today, and she could see her true love. Recently, she had become a full-time employee. She was tired of reading real estate books and had practiced all the computer books. Now, she was familiar with office software. She realized that it wasn't that she lacked talent in computers, but that she had used it too little before. She realized that she was always slow to accept new things, but once she accepted them, she might be better than others.

The matter of computers always reminded Mu Zixi of the time when she had just started learning English in junior high school, and she couldn't help but sigh. When she first started learning English in junior high school, her results would always be much worse than others even if she spent the same amount of time. Later on, she spent more time than others, but she could only pass every exam just right. When she passed her exams, her English teacher had the habit of punishing students who couldn't pass the exam papers. Every time she saw Mu Zixi's score of 61 or 62, she didn't improve, but she couldn't punish her. The teacher was very angry. Once, she said angrily in front of the whole class,"Some people clearly have good grades in other subjects, but they're not good at English. Moreover, they always step on the grid line.”

When the English teacher said this, Mu Zixi immediately knew that she was talking about herself. From then on, she worked even harder, and her English grades were always above 90 points. During the final exam, she thought that she had done very well in answering the questions. If it wasn't 90 points, she must have scored 80 points. However, her score was actually 68 points, which made her dumbfounded. Later, when the papers were handed out, she realized that the teacher had given her 30 marks less. She had only answered two questions wrong! She had told the English teacher about it at that time, but the teacher had only told her about it in front of the entire class and did not fight for more for her.

She, who could have been in the top five of the school, did not even make it into the top ten. She was supposed to be in the top three in class, but she was ranked tenth. Her homeroom teacher arranged the school's enrollment quota according to her results. She had been longing to join the league, but she was not fated to do so. The bonus had nothing to do with her either. After the incident, she had wondered who had read this paper and whether the English teacher had done it on purpose. She had also blamed her, especially when she had wanted to join the party, but she had not been able to do so for various reasons. She had been brooding over her for several years. After experiencing many things, she saw through it. In life, it was inevitable that other people's mistakes would bring losses to themselves. Some people even lost their lives. Putting the distant past aside, the recent past was the best example. The pain that her father caused her mother and the end of her brother's life because of drinking were the best examples. Sigh, compared to her mother and brother, her little honor was nothing.

Mu Zixi saw that Tian Runye couldn't be with Sun Shao 'an. She was angry and sad. She folded the corner of the book and closed it with a bang. In life, he was like Tian Runye. There were too many things that he could not ask for, and he cherished what he had. She looked at the lake opposite her. The lake was sparkling, and the stars were shining on the lake. It was very beautiful. "Let's go to the lake and take a look," she said immediately.”

"Yes." Shen Xiangmi nodded and noted down the number of pages in the book. She gently closed it and stood up to pick up her things.

Mu Zixi stood up and stretched. She took Shen Xiangmi's book and pulled her forward.

The two girls stepped on the pebbles and ran toward the lake as happy as birds in April. It was really good to be young. It was great to enjoy the sun and forget everything because of the natural beauty.

Just as they were completely mesmerized by the cleanliness of nature, two men were discussing Shen Xiangmi in the quietest corner of Ru Jia Hotel.

"President Shi, forgive me for being blunt, but Shen Xiangmi is really terrible. It's too tiring for me to take care of her, and my working hours have been extended by a lot. Let's change to someone better and more experienced, okay?”Ye He looked at the person opposite him with a pleading gaze.

The fat on the fat man's face trembled. After a moment of silence, he said,"Old Ye, you've been in the company for five years, right? You've brought many disciples under your wing. You should know that people with poor qualifications do things steadily.”This man who was nearly fifty years old was Mika's chairman, Shi Hongsheng.

"Yes, you're right." Ye He agreed verbally, but in his heart, he thought,'What's the point of being dependable? My ability is so bad. I've brought her a few times, but she can't complete it on her own.' She's clearly just a pretty face. She can't do much work and delays me from work every day. That Zhang from the HR department was really bad. He only knew how to cater to Shi. Recruiting such a piece of trash. This fat old lecher clearly has a crush on me, and he even said it so grandly that I'm the one suffering.

"That's right."

"But, President Shi, if you have to take care of her, help me reduce my workload. It's too tiring to take care of her like this. I get off work late every day, and my wife thinks that I have someone else. Every time I go back, she will quarrel with me and affect our child's studies.”Ye He said embarrassedly.

"You're a woman. You should coax her well. How about this? I'll give you a raise of 300 yuan a month.”Shi Hongsheng wanted to say 500 yuan, but he immediately thought of the economic crisis and it was not easy for him to find a job. It was fine as long as the 300 yuan increase could keep him.

Ye He saw that Shi Hongsheng did not want to fire Shen Xiangmi, so he did not insist anymore. It would be good to increase his salary by 300 yuan. "Alright then, I'll take good care of her. I hope that she'll do as you said and work hard.”

"That's right. Little Ye, help me treat her well. I won't mistreat you.”Shi Hongsheng raised his glass in satisfaction.

"Alright, President Shi." Ye He immediately picked up his wine glass and clinked it with him, expressing his pleasure in working with him.

"That's right. Come and eat."

Shi Hongsheng was lecherous, shrewd, and stingy. Ye He had worked here for five years and had long seen through him. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of changing jobs, but he had wanted work experience before. Later on, he had two years of experience, but he didn't like it after interviewing a few companies. It was either far from home or the salary was low. There was no way to jump out of the financial crisis now, and he had no intention of leaving. In fact, Shen Xiangmi was not as bad as he had said. He admitted that he had exaggerated a little. She was just asking a little more. The real reason was that he hated her good-looking face. Sometimes, it would disturb his mood at work.

He wanted Shen Xiangmi to leave, but he did not expect Shi Hongsheng to have his eyes on her. A few days ago, Shi Hongsheng had specifically asked him to take care of Shen Xiangmi. Since he had specially invited him to dinner today, he wanted to get some benefits. Usually, Hongsheng wouldn't even give him 50 yuan, but now he wanted to give him 300 yuan. It seemed that Old Man Shi treated this Shen guy differently this time. This was good too. Perhaps, he had felt a little guilty towards Shen Xiangmi, but now that the financial crisis had hit, her wife had given birth to a second child and lost her job. His life was not good now. In the future, he would have to prepare a fine for his second son. His life was even more difficult. He was forced by life. Thinking of this, the guilt faded a little.
